Novastar Processor Control #2

Open samuraitheta opened 4 years ago

samuraitheta commented 4 years ago

I would love a way to control Blackout, input selection, brightness, etc... for Novastar Processors like the VX4s and the MCTRL6000.

I am able to control these processors using a series of Hex values sent as a TCP packet, but I would love to be able to control them with Companion. Most of these processors use a generic instruction set, and I would be happy to send you information about them if it would help.

Someone is actively working on this. I contributed working code here (https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-novastar-vx4s) and another developer has created modules also.

I've seen the Bitfocus 2.0 developed by Ritesh Patel, but I don't want a WHOLE different companion app... it doesn't look stable for production.

Is there a way to add this module into Companion?

JeffreyDavidsz commented 4 years ago

When a module is ready it can be added to the core. Software is open source you anybody can make their own builds. I would not advise to use those as you cannot know from which state Companion has been copied

samuraitheta commented 4 years ago

So is this Novastar module not ready yet?

JeffreyDavidsz commented 4 years ago

Well I believe instead of sharing to code to us, the guy decided to build its own version. That being said there is a request to him for sharing the module as he is using "our" main code also

josephdadams commented 4 years ago

We are working to get this included into Companion 2.0. Stay tuned.
